[SINGAPORE] The Singapore market has done well this first half of 2025, as investors flocked to safe havens amid volatility caused by tariff uncertainty and tensions intensifying in the Middle East.
The Straits Times Index (STI) reached a new high of 4,011.78 last Wednesday (Jul 2). As at Friday, the index has advanced nearly 6 per cent year to date (YTD) – comparable to that of the S&P 500, which is up by slightly over 6.7 per cent.
Various Singapore Exchange (SGX)-listed counters such as Sembcorp Industries, UOL Group and DFI Retail Group recorded over 30 per cent YTD returns, and are within the top 10 performing stocks in the Straits Times Index.
